Dear Sam,
A
birdseye is at an advantage in a medium to dark gray where the general color is the result of the contrasting combination of what is perceived as lighter grey "birdeyes" on darker gray background. If you want charcoal, I suggest you consider a
pinhead pattern instead.
Here is a pic of a charcoal nailhead/pinhead suiting from Harrison's P&B Fine Classics (370gms/130z).
Here is a H Lessers 13oz:
What do you all think?

Just look at them at their website

and you'll see that these pictures posted on the thread don't do justice to the beautiful cloths they truly are.
In real life, the
pinhead dots are much more subtle than in the photos and they are only appreciated up-close. I think it's an ideal pattern for a conservative (with a certain flair) dark grey or charcoal suit when you want the texture do the talking.
